When we introduced SAS, we primarily reviewed functions and looked at data merging. There are a host of built-in procedures that can help reduce coding efforts and provide flexibility so that we can transform data, produce statistics, run statistical tests (for a detailed explanation of some of these tests, please refer to SAS for Finance by Harish Gulati, available from Packt Publishing), and produce reports. In this chapter, the procedures we will explore are useful for reporting statistics and testing various hypotheses via statistical tests. The transpose function we will learn about in this chapter will help us to prepare data for various purposes, such as reporting and statistical tests.
In this chapter, we will cover the following procedures and functions:
